Under the first French empire the ad-

ministration of the prison of Sainte- Pelagie was so loose that it was not rare for act used persons to lie there six

their incarceration. The following ad- yenture, narrated in ‘‘The Dungeons cf a Faris. qi] iG8€s (Do fact that 1 lease under similar conditious of ignuo- rau ig Not impossible:

be aoctor had given to a prison who was siigbtly ill an order for tie baths. Not knowing in what part

the prison the infirmary was situ ated, he presented his order to a tipsy turn- key, who opened the outer door of the prison.

M. Guillon, a free man withou aware

ae [+

ing of it, took the narrow street to ba

a@ eentry’s walk and went a few paces without finding any one to direct bhi: Returning to the sentry at the door, ba

inquired where were the baths. £ “*The batbs?’’ said the sentineL

*“*The prison baths.’”’

“The prison baths,’’ said the sentinel, “‘are probably in the prison, but you can’t get in there,”

*“*What—I can’t get into the prison? Am I ontside it, ten?”’

** Why, yea, you're in the street. You ought to know that, I shonld think."’

“I did nut know it, I assuro yoa,”’ eaid M. Guillon, ‘'and this weu’t suit me at all.’’

He rang the rriscn bell and was re- admitted, and his recital cf his adven- ture restored to sobriety tho turukey } who bad given hius bis freedom.

&: Sheridan and the Joke F Sbériden, himself a brilliant orator as well as @sbrewd cbserver, was ono day asked how it was he got cn £0 well is the house cfeommons. ‘Well,’ hoe said, ‘‘I coon found out that tho major- ity were fools, but all loved a joke, and I determined to give them wha they liked.’’ Tho great advantage of a joke is that i$ puts the apeaker at once on good terms with his audience Hence Cicero recommends it for an exordium. A common way of winning the good will cf an audience is flattery. When the Jews brought down the crator Ter- tullas to cccuse Paul, Tertullus began bias speech with flattery of King Agrip- pa, “Since by theo we enjoy,’’ and so om Another way, @ subtie form of flat- tery, is to describs yourself as a native of the seme place or county as those you are addressing. Tho forensic formu- da, the fustian apostrophe totho 13 ‘‘in- telligent ana patriotio und high minded men’’ whom tho zhetcrical Luzfuz sees besore bim, is playod cut, but it has its enoderm equivalents. —Westminstc> Re- V.uW.

A Cord of Wood,

Few persons comprehend the prodrug. tive capacity of a cord cf wood. Chem-

ical experiments are occasionally de- veloping new uses for wood in matters remote from its ordinary adaptability,' and the feature that is exciting a gress deal of interest just now is tho trans. formation of wood products into liquids. Although under the strongest kind c% pressure wood yields scarcely any mois- ture, by means of heat wood will evolve gases and liquids of marked potency an& utility. In converting wood into char coal gases and smoke arise which can be condensed into pyroligneors acid, It ig estimated that there is fully C3 per cen# of thisacid in a given quantity of wood,! and from it are extracted wocd alcoh acetate of lime and wood tars. The al¢ coho] thus obtained ia said to be a very extisfactory enbstitute for grain alcohof for mechanical and manufacturing pure poses, and it can be produced at leas than one-third c? the cost of the grain alcobol. { Levestigations conducted with pras¢ tical objects in view havo disclosed these interesting facts: A cord of wood which weighs 4,000 pounds will yiel about 2,050 pounds of pyroligneous aci and 700 pounds of charcoal; the eid will produce about 9 gallons of 83 cont crude wood aloobg], about 25 gal lons of tar and fully 200 pounds of tate of lime. These facts indicate a fu ture for wood outside of the realm fucl and pulp.—New York Times.
